Would Shakespeare have been spoilt by a Web2.0 environment? Looking on the bright side the Asus EEE £230 compact laptop with Linux operating system as standard looks to be a rare glimpse of sanity in the IT world. A fine middle road between a PDA that is portable but to fiddly to use and a laptop that is too big, fragile, expensive & heavy to be truly portable. If somebody tries to mug you for it, it is cheap enough to hit them with. If it comes loaded with Thunderbird as standard this may introduce the rest of the world to RSS - the ideal answer to periodic news subscription which for some reason is omitted from Microsoft Outlook. Finally a possible replacement for the Psion 3a over 10 years old and not yet surpassed for real world usability. There is a lot to be said for writing in normal language.
